It's Friday...

Usually Fridays are not a big deal for me because I work, however, since I made myself one of the unemployed last week, I actually have a unlimited weekend to look forward to. No mad dash to work today. I know, it's irresponsible to give up a job in an economy where people are losing their jobs through no fault of their own. Me, I'm just to old for the b.s. Being 50, half my life is already spent (if I can make 100), I am certain that there are different ways to make $$. Have a job and have some fun.
Nursing is a thankless job. You hear people say "you guys are like angels", in the next breath, screaming at you because they can't find daddy's socks. Socks, really!?! They're a dollar at the dollar store, buy another pair.
Nursing is the only job that you can be literally shit on, pissed on, spat at and screamed at and your reply is always "Okay, thanks have a good day!"
So I'm relishing this little break even if its only temporary. Must look for job next week...
Health Insurance and all.
I wish you guys out there could see the waste of resources that occur in nursing homes.
The food that we throw away at the end of they day says it all. Never mind the amout of medicines that get dumped monthly. Never mind that your are treating 99 year patients with multiple morbities, who are full codes, who have 37 meds, and who sleep all day.
Just think how this money could be better spent in neo-natal units at the start of life, and in transplant units where young people fight for their life...
Just a thought...

Obama at a town meeting...

Yesterday, President Obama went to California for a "town meeting". Funny, on the campaign trail, he had no interest in a town meeting.. Now that he has the job he's flying cross country for one. Does this guy love to hear himself speak or what?!?!?!
Borack, you already have the job!!!!. I had a lot of hope for him after his inauguration speech,
"even if you didn't vote for me, I am your president to.." Really, what have you done for me lately.
I believe he was not loved enough as a child and has an insatiable need for love and adoration. He's one of these people who pretend their way through life. "Let me hold a town meeting and pretend I'm president." Again, stay at home, and do your job!!! Oh, that's right, I think your just pretending to be president while your hacks do all the work.

You're not a rock star.. you're the President of the United States. You reside in the WHITE HOUSE. Your job is to RUN the Country. Stop Talking already....

The bonuses are coming, the bonuses are coming, the bonuses are coming!

For the last 3 days on every news channel all we hear about are the AIG bonuses. Greta, Glen, Rush, Stewart, etc.. etc.. etc.. can anyone out there come up with different material. Because of 24 hrs news, the airways are filled with repetition. ( I recall CNN covering the Lacy Peterson stories for weeks. ) Really, its filling space and not news.
Yeah its despicable these execs took bonuses in a failing company. Should be, the company doesn't make $$ neither do you. Then again...
Teachers continue to have jobs when kids can't read or write...
Coaches continue to have jobs with losing teams.. (don't even start me with what they get paid)
Senators continue to have jobs, even though their heads are up their asses
Congressman continue to have jobs, even though their pockets are filled with corrupt money.

All of the above are supposedly the "Best and the Brightest " for their positions..

Thanks for the dumbing down of America, people

Happy St. Pattys Day!!

Today, I heard Borack Obama say that his great - great - great grandfather was Irish! lol HaHa.. Now i know where the name Borack O'Bama comes first... I am really laughing my ass off. Is there anything this man won't say.. yes, it does sound believable , but really... how gullible are we?

I think he should be told, he's won the presidency.. now it's time to stop making speeches, stop making guest appearances... stop being in front of the cameras..

Sit awhile in the Oval office and hey, do your job. Let the chair get warm. Think a moment before your speak.. And i don't want to hear anymore thats "It's enery, It's education, It's healthcare.. It's infrastructure.."

Hey, "It's the economy stupid!"

having blogged in a while

I stopped blogging. Felt it was futile. Felt I had so much to say, without anyone to listen.
With the myriad of blogs out there, who cares about mine.. So instead i became a pariah at work. Constantly voicing my political opinions. Keep in mind, I'm trying to speak to people who don't even watch the news!.. I was perceived as the "crazy person who should turn off their radio." Well, I feel that I need to go back to blogging.. So even if I'm talking to myself, at last the ideas are out of my head.


today, i joined Greta's blog. I'm always right on topic. Wrote about how much money was given to politicians from companies like AIG and there should be a demand made that these monies be paid back. Hey, afterall these companies are broke and could use the help.

Hey Chris Dodd, you got over $100,000... give the money back they need it.
